520 |a Do the Romans have anything to teach us about the way that they saw the world, and the way they ran their empire? How did they deal with questions of frontiers and migration, so often in the news today? "The Roman Frontiers Now" is a collection of ten important essays by C. R. Whittaker, engaging with debates and controversies about the Roman frontiers and the concept of empire. Truly global in its focus, the book examines the social, political and cultural implications of the Roman frontiers in Africa, India, Britain, Europe, Asia and the Far East, and provides a comprehensive account of their significance 
520 1 |a "Rome and its Frontiers: The Dynamics of Empire is a collection of ten essays by C.R. Whittaker, several of them published here for the first time, engaging with contemporary debates and controversies surrounding the Roman frontiers and the concept of empire. Roman relations with their neighbours and those they dominated represent one of the keys to understanding the nature of Roman rule. Each essay presents a different aspect of frontier scholarship, with chapters covering the barbarian invasions in the later Roman empire, the social and sexual life of soldiers on the frontiers, the practicalities of supplying the army at frontier settlements and the wider issues of migration, geography and identity
